In most cases cerebral anaemia is not such a separate affection as to require a separate chapter. This, however, may find its excuse in the great importance that attaches to it in consequence of the case with which it is confounded with other affections, and of the dangerous consequences based upon a correspondingly erroneous treatment.

In the former case it is caused by constriction or compression of the arteries through which the blood courses toward the brain, and by any other circumstances in consequence of which the space within the skull is narrowed; in the second case all the causes of anaemia come into play, whereas the deficiency of blood consequent upon sanguineous losses will have to be counted in
